Following apparent scheduling conflicts, Mulligan has had to bow out of Spike Jonze's next film, about a man who falls in love with a computer voice. Once again cue Rooney, who according to Variety is in final talks to join Joaquin Phoenix and Amy Adams.

We've reached out to Rooney's reps to confirm the casting negotiations but have yet to hear back.

The good news? Annapurna Pictures is behind Jonze's next flick and just so happens to be the same company that pulled out of Lively's version of The Bitter Pill. We assume they should be content with an Oscar contender though!

Either way, watch out, H'wood women: Rooney is on the loose and has the acting chops to knock you out. As for us? We're just excited to see whether this next picture will come with another drastic new hairdo for Ms. Mara!
